"COMANCHE GEORGE"
The Notorious lmpOster Discovered
I'm n New Role.


I'm a New Role.
NEW YORK, Sept 2l-(Special Telegram
to the BEE. There Is reason to believe that
ths witness, George w. Anderson, upon
whose testimony chiefly the indictments of
manslanghter were obtained against Keepers
Cleary and McCue, Of the Wards Island in
sane asylum, for causing the death of the
patient Ferrsh some time ago, is no other
than Commanche George, q notorious
swindler in this vicinity some ten years
ago. In this case his testimony
against the indicted keepers will
have very little weight with q Jury, it is
thought. The story Is that Comanche George
came east about ten years ago with some In.
dams. He told a story of how he had been
detained captive many years among the
Indians in Arizona. While there he secured
some seeds of the sacred Locatil plant, which
he brought with him. The plant was
claimed. and he offered them for sale
to many persons. He succeeded in imposing
upon President Hayes, Mr.. Blaine. General
Logan and William NJ. Evarts in Washing
ton. and William T. Walters, of Baltimore.

however. and soon found his way down to
the slums, and In time became an inmate Of

said that there can be no doubt about the fact
that the two are identical.

An Old Man FBtihd Wounded Who
Tells Two stories.
About 2 O'Clock this morning Samuel
Mundy, man of about fifty, received q
possibly fatal wound in the right side
L. about the base Of the lung. Mundy tells
two stories about the affair, tbe first that
he was held up and shot by highway
men; the second that he accidentally
shot himself while getting out
OF the car IN which the steel gang, of
which he claims to be member, was
sleeping. When found this morning by
CAPTAIN Green he was at Harry Bran
dies boarding house on Tenth street,
just below the tracks, where he has been
stopping for the past week. In his over
coat poe ket was found q thirty-two-call-
bre revolver. with one barrel discharged.
Mundy's bands are soft and white, un.
like worker in steel, and he doubtless
is withholding the truth of the affair.

them have sold their claims at sacrifice.

to the judiciary committee.
